Steve790 Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Need help, had my car into 3 garages and can't sus the problem, a quite loud knocking and banging when turning backwards and forwards at slow pace. This started happening after I had a metatronic unit replaced at an audi specialists. Took straight back and they said they couldn't find a problem. It's now getting worse. Any ideas or help would be much appreciated
cliffcoggin Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Is this the same remapped gearbox you asked about two years ago, and failed to update us about? https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/19949-rs5-2014-help/#comment-72407
Steve790 Posted August 2 Author Posted August 2 Yeah that ended up been the metatronic unit. £4500 later..sorry i didn't update.
cliffcoggin Posted August 3 Posted August 3 (edited) Your description sounds like the CV (constant velocity) joints are worn, but if the problem started immediately after work was done on the car I have to wonder if something was refitted wrongly during the gearbox repair.

My thoughts were something like that but surely the garage would have checked those, there is also a slight knock sound when I brake. It drives perfectly with no noises, dosnt veer off neither.
cliffcoggin Posted August 3 Posted August 3 If you are prepared to crawl under the car and get your hands dirty, it is easy to test the CV joints yourself. Clamp each drive shaft in turn with self-locking grips (e.g. Mole grips) and rotate to and fro. If you hear clicking and feel movement the joints are clapped out.
Steve790 Posted August 4 Author Posted August 4 Cheers will give it a go and let you know how I det on
